The most hanefu of all the influences
which lead to national decay is a policy
that degrades and impoverishes labor. The
wealth of country consists not in the sums
Of money paid into its treasury nor does
its real strength consist in fleets and armies.
Tut IN the manly spirit of an independent
yeomanry, and the intelligence, comfort
and happiness of its laboring classes
nation is being constantly weakened in all
that constitutes national greatness and
power. If its wealth increases only bv the
mpoverishment of its labor.
In an empire or nation of standing ar
mics, the chief interest in its children is
that they become good soldiers but in a
republic the chief interest is that they be-
come good citizens for upon the wisdom of
their ballots rest the pillars of the com
monwealth. 4 nation whose policy de
grades or impOverishes its labor is sowing
the seeds of sure national decay. II is the
great fact stamped upon all the ruins that
Strew the pathway of empires.
In the worlds history God has decreed
that organized national wrong shall be pun
ished by national disaster If the rulers or
lawmakers of a people fail to profit by
such lessons, then in the providence of God,
Pharaoh like, they must be taught by mul-
NillA'N NNtos lie EItdlthl CTllle Oh Il ma
ton against humanity is the institution of
bondage; the next in magnitude is policy
that degrades or impoverishes labor
That country is greatest and most glori-
Gus in which tnere are the greatest number
of happy tresides and to make the fire
side happy it must first be made comfort
able. II an article can only be furnished
TO the consumer cheaply by reducing the
wages of the laborer who produces it to the
same rate paid his competitor in other lands
where penury sits at his fireside and sorrow
and want surround his death bed, then
cheapness is not desirable object Hence
comes the necessity for what is called pro
lection to American labor in discriminating
duties on foreign imports.
Collecting revenue by duties is in reality
collecting it from incomes based on expen-
ditures in living. This method, while strip
ped of the Objectionable features of an in
come or direct tax-of being inquisitorial a.
TO the private business of iudividuals-dis-
tributes the burdens of government upon
those best able to bear Them and to whom
in justice they belong.
The highest wisdom of craftsmanship,
therefore, is to see TO it, in the enactment
of tariff laws, that as far as possible the
labor of our own country shall produce the
commodities consumed by our people and,
while doing that, to see that the burdens
of government shall not fall too heavily
upon its producing classes.

Give Them a Chance.

That is to say, your lungs. Also
all your breathing machinery. Very
wonderful machinery it is. Not only
the larger air-passages, but the thou
sands of little tubes and cavities
When these are clogged and choked
with matter which ought not to be
there; your lungs cannot half do
their work. And what they do, they
cannot do well.
Call it cold, cough, Group, pneu:
monia, catarrh, consumption or any
of the family of throat and nose and
head and lung Instructions, all are
bad. All ought to be got rid Of
There is just one way to get rid of
them. That is to take Boschee's
German Syrup, which any druggist
will sell you at 75 cents bottle.
Even if everything else has failed
you, you may depend upon this for
certain.

Shall We Find Them at the
Portals"

VIII they meet us, cheer and greet Us
Those we have loved who've gone before
Shall we find them at the portals,
Find our beautiful ''immortals,"
When we reach that radiant shore.
Hearts are looking for some token
That may live and love US yet,
And we ask can those who've left us,
OF loves look and tone bereft us,
Though in heaven can they forget2
And we often, as days soften
And comes out the evening star,
Looking westward. sit and wonder
Whether, when so far asunder,
They stiil think how dear they are.
Past yon portals our "immortals,"
Those who walk with him in white,
Do they mid their bliss recall us?
Know they what events befalI us,
VIII cur coming wake delight?
They will meet US, cheer and greet us,
Those we've loved who've gone before,
We shall find them at the portals,
Find our beautiful immortals,
When we reach that radiant shore.
